Kimber Kmp

[crs1]

Just saw this on the back of the new American Rifleman. Looks like Kimber is throwing its hat into the polymerized tactical ring. If it performs like their other guns, I want one. Any guess as to whether this will make the list?


Yes...I know its KPD...

OOPS! KPD -- no wonder it did not come up in the search...Was thinking of S&W's M&P, I guess...

I was going to post this same thread!

It really sucks when a mfg puts out ads, before updating their website, or otherwise having any info in circulation about the product.

From the ad, though, it says it has a magazine disconnect, and loaded chamber indicator, so maybe they're expecting to take about a year to bring it to market.

It also looks like it can take interchangeable backstraps. Offered first in .40, with a 9mm version on the way. Double-action only.

Should be an interesting gun! It'll be interesting to see where this takes Kimber - if they'll produce subcompact versions, or other non-1911 handguns. Maybe a Kimber revolver!!!

I hope it wont be a $1000 gun, as that would be a shame, since I would buy an HK instead. The Kimber kind of reminds me of the Steyr pistol they were selling at CDNN for a while...that I couldn't get here in Cal.
